Recs if you like Don't Cry for Me...

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

under construction

Fiction & nonfiction books that explore the complexities and traumas of father-child relationships or in which such relationships play a central role. Not all books on this list include “daddy issues” — these books can be about the different perspectives and nuances of the father-child relationship, whether positive or negative. Some books center the child, some the father, some both.

Suggestions are welcome.

Books, Comics, etc. for LGBTQIA2S+ people, by LGBTQIA2S+ people. A concocted mixture of fiction and nonfiction that I hope to add to consistently.

Behold: yet another of my 2 a.m. deep dives - this time into epistolary literature! The list starts with some of the earliest examples of the form and follows it into the present day, from stories told through letters and diaries to those built from emails, texts, transcripts, and other documents. Whether you’re a longtime fan or completely new to this genre, what interests you most about it?

(A quick note: I put this list together using Wikipedia, blog posts, and Reddit threads. I did my best to keep everything in chronological order, but a few mistakes may have slipped through - it was 2 a.m., after all. If you have any suggestions on what else I should add, I’d love to hear it!)
